Well I just read the most shocking thing, well for me at least. If you go over to www.billycorgan.com you can read who broke the smashing pumpkins up. Now while this might not mean a lot to many people, it means the world to me, simply put the pumpkins where and still are the greatest band for me. No other group of people have produced so much music that has given me such a range of emotions within 1 hour. I’ve seen them live and that was for my 21st birthday I have every single, album, soundtrack I could get my hands on. In essence I’m a lifelong fan. I’ve even started sorting out cover artwork for an internet album they released 2 years ago. Sad news for me I suppose but just reading the blog made me think how completely crap billy must have felt. I suppose many times you’ve got to walk away from the crutch you call your friends and tackle things in a solo effort. Does this apply to me right now? Not really, I’ve always been a loner, the few times I’ve tried to rely on friends or whatever I’ve been disapointed. Which is why I continue to do what I do in a solo effort.

How’s the story going. Man it’s not, which is not good, however I’ve developed the style that I’ll be using to draw this thing, which I suppose is a start. It’s going to be using traditional japanese comics methods, this is the main character. This is a sketch and it’s only intended to show the style that I’ll be using, it’ll get more detailed and more refined as time goes by I’m sure, but at this time I can actually see this working out. I’ve also highlighted the zipatone effect that I’ll be using. It’s not gray, it’s still black, only old fashioned. BIG difference, but so much nicer I feel.

I’ve only got like 14 days to try and finish this script. Even if I don’t actually make the book I’ll have finished the script. I’ll have finished something I started.

I’ve been doing a lot of design work lately. I’ve actually done three wallpapers that I’ll try and put up at some point, but it’s just that my site isn’t really geared up for that at this point. I’m working on making it design oriented, a REAL portfolio, but I’ve been busy. Wish there where more hours in the day, and more time to actually be productive.
